Robert "Bob" Alfred Cole, age 83, of Bordentown, NJ passed away while surrounded by a loving family on Saturday, January 20, 2024.
Mr. Cole was born in Forest City, PA and had resided in Trenton, NJ before moving to Bordentown. He spent his teenage years learning how to be a printer from Stevens trade School in Lancaster, then to Trenton VoTech. His trade allowed him to print as a shop supervisor for Parker Printing for 30+ years, he loved his job and coworkers. Bob served his country honorably within the US National Guard and was a member of the Masonic Lodge in Bordentown. He was also an avid hunter and gun enthusiast and he loved hunting on the Cole family property his whole life with friends and family. When he wasn't hunting, he enjoyed saltwater or freshwater fishing, making his own custom knives and turkey calls. But above all, he cherished family and was a father to many, and will be deeply missed by those he leaves behind.
Bob is survived by his beloved spouse, Annette Cole (nee Pasquale); daughter, Deborah; granddaughter, Kylie; sister Carol Hawkins. He was predeceased by his son, Robert; sister, Linda.
Viewings will be held on Thursday, February 1st from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM and again on Friday, February 2nd from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, which will be immediately followed by his funeral service, all at Huber-Moore Funeral Home, 517 Farnsworth Avenue, Bordentown, NJ.
